My first instinct was to cringe but I actually see where you're coming from. I'd say no, don't do solid. It's not inappropriate at all but it just looks a bit unprofessional compared to a dotted or striped tie if we're talking same price range. Again, not really a problem if it's all you have but try and avoid if you can.

As an intern, I only had solid ties but went and bought a couple stripes etc from the clearance box at Marshalls for like five each.

 

Yeah I dress as conservatively as it gets, but I always felt solid ties have a slight fashion to them sported by senior staff as well. Hence the post. Glad to see I'm not completely crazy haha.
